Essex Skippers are on their last legs now. 

A promising wind direction before an unpredicted heavy rain shower brought in the second sedge warbler and the first pied flycatcher of the autumn amongst a handful of willow warblers and dispersing young robins. Another yellow wagtail was on site, before this brief rush of interesting migrants dried up as the day warmed up.


A couple of Dark Crimson Underwings have shown up this week. First noted here in 2011 and recorded in 5 years since.

Birds Ringed: Pied Flycatcher 1, Robin 2, Sedge Warbler 1, Willow Warbler 1.
